Xavier Xavier flinched as Piper blew up the building behind him and Cassandra, but he calmed himself down with a cigarette he'd manage to grab, lighting it with his magic, and taking a long drag, feeling his nerves slip away as the bitter-sweet taste of dark chocolate filled his mouth and lungs. Breathing out the smoke, Xavier removed himself from Cassandra embrace, much to her displeasure. "I wouldn't say that much, I might want to smack Nigel over the head for trying to [i]shoot[/i] me." Xavier kept his tone lightand friendly, but he was still genuine hurt by how quickly Nigel had been ready to shoot him. Unknown to Xavier, his wings and tail displayed this some what, drooping everso slightly and giving Xavier an air of melancholy, though he was quick to shake it off. "I'm just as confused as the everyome else here about, well, all of this, but I know someone who isn't." Xavier turned to face Cassamdra, a serious look in his eyes. He was done letting her stay all mysterious and cryptic, he wanted answers, and he want them now. "Cassandra, no more games okay, what the hell is going on?!? Don't tell me to be patient and wait, cause we don't have that luxury. As. . as your King I order you." Xavier wondered if pulling his supposed rank would work to get Cassandra cooperation. Cassandra smiled, glad to see Xavier take charge for once. Despite her earlier actions, she did place Xavier's well-being as the height of importance and wanted him to be able to stand-up for himself. "I guess it'd be rather counter-productive to with hold information from such trigger happy 'comrades', so I guess I'll talk. The long and short of the matter is that you, Xavier, are half-demon, a trait inherited from your father Revan, except where he was artificially made into one, you were born this way. This makes your Demon magic very powerful, as well as gifting you with a special type of curse and a resistance to Devil Slaying Magic as a demon. You're still the same person, though you'll have to combat certain [i]urges[/i] brought on by your demon blood." Cassandra then gave a tired yawn, before she began to fade away into mist. "If you ever need my help in battle, my prince, just call out 'King', and I'll come, though I think you should first meet your 'Rook'and your 'Knight' first before you do. Every warrior needs his sword and shield." And with that she disappeared, leaving Xavier a little shell-shocked to say the least. Turning slowly to face the others he quickly tookout another cigarrette, having burned through the other one, and placed in his mouth, his nerves back in full forces aa his tail swung around him spastically. After taking a qiick drag, he decided to ask the all important question if the day. "Did anyone else know my dad was half-demon?" His calm tone hiding the level of freaking out he was doing in his head.
